As absolute proof that miracles do happen over Christmas, Hitman/Code HQ does what even he thought was impossible and actually releases Allegro for OS4!

I thought it would be a relatively small project but it turned out to be a terribly complex game library and not small at all. Add to that periods of laziness, busyness, drunkeness, being on holiday, an unhealthy Guitar Hero addiction and the fact that my boss actually makes me work 8 hours a day on non Amiga things, and we have a port that takes 18 months instead of 18 weeks.

A new release of Gnumeric 1.6.3 is now available on OS4-Depot. It is
compatible with the new AmiCygnix package. Gnumeric is a spreadsheet, which is

I'm getting in trouble from Mikey_C due to not publicising updates enough, so this is an official announcement that the Christmas preview release of NetSurf 2.0-development for AmigaOS 4 is now available.

NetSurf is a fast CSS-capable web browser for RISC OS, Linux, BeOS and AmigaOS 4.

Download or get it through AmiUpdate if you have the previous version.

More information on NetSurf can be found at http://www.netsurf-browser.org

Wehrheim, Germany, December 06th, 2008.

We would like to wish all AmigaOS 4 users a very nice St. Nicholas day and we want to treat you this day with the freeware tool called AmiArc. This is a tool for packing and unpacking archives for AmigaOS 4.x. If you have suggestions for improvements then we'll hope that you send us a mail.

Replicate the Windows Alt+Tab shortcut.

When you hold down Alt and press Tab, a window will popup showing thumbnails
of all the screens that are currently open. Pressing Tab again (while still
holding down Alt) will cycle to the next thumbnail. Releasing Alt will then
make your Amiga switch to that screen!
